Is it F–k Wit’ Dre Day? That’s the only logical explanation for the song that was uploaded to iTunes and credited to The Chronic rapper, when it’s quite clearly by someone else.

The new track “Ten Times Outa 1″, which was released on iTunes (not Beats Music) on Feb. 13 (as spotted by SPIN) is attributed to Dr. Dre — but one cursory listen makes it obvious that iTunes either forgot about Dre‘s real sound (he has been absent from the scene for awhile now) or Dre has really changed his flow since “B–ches Ain’t Sh–,” or even back when he was with N.W.A.

The supposed new “single” features a drop-and-play rap beat with a bumbling bassline and lyrics that make references to “the number one gun” and even give Dre’s collaborator Snoop Dogg a literal shout-out: “S-N-double-O-P.” But Dre is still Dre, and this song is clearly not by him.

Why does this bit of news have to sound so insulting and disrespectful to the fans? Just say you believe the track is a fake, and a poor fake at that. You don't need to drop a bunch of titles to prove you know what you're talking about, especially when a crucial bit (NWA, not Public Enemy -- Chuck D won't appreciate that) got flubbed.
